Abstract :
Presents the results of a study carried out for the ENVISAT Expert Support Laboratories group set up by the European Space Agency. The objectives of this study are the identification and investigation of relevant problems related to the processing of ScanSAR data. Data of the SIR-C sensor in the ScanSAR mode of operation were used for processing. The results and experience gained in this analysis might be used when relevant for the ground processing development of the ASAR instrument on board the ENVISAT platform
